| And so, the ban hammer begins...so can I be lebon's new replacement |
| Posted by: Lebon14 Mar 30 2012, 12:44 AM | ||
I take that as an insult of my intelligence. |
| Posted by: Tessou Mar 30 2012, 03:17 AM | ||
We're supposed to respect the members, not belittle them. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Mar 30 2012, 08:41 AM | ||
So you're agreeing with Lebon? Cause I think it was out of line, too. |
| Posted by: Tessou Mar 30 2012, 09:12 AM |
| Alastair has not sent his formal application to become a moderator, so I have not considered him for a position. Thus I can only assume he is joking. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Mar 30 2012, 09:37 AM | ||
... There's applications? I can only imagine what could go wrong...  |
| Posted by: Tessou Mar 30 2012, 09:38 AM |
| Not an application in the literal sense. I only require that aspiring members PM me with their interest in the position. Otherwise, how would I know who wants to be a mod and who doesn't? If the interest isn't expressed, they are not considered. |

I feel like a geezer. It was a lot different 'back in my day'.  |
| Posted by: Alastair Mar 30 2012, 11:56 PM | ||
Joking I think not.  Also I think I'm perfect to be a mod for the music section because one. When it comes down to music I know what the hell i'm talking about and two, i'm not canadian. And three America. |
| Posted by: Shirogane Mar 30 2012, 11:59 PM | ||
Then Tessou would have to create a whole new mod group for the music section...  Also, I worry for the bolded part.. |
| Posted by: Smikey Mar 31 2012, 12:33 AM | ||
PMed with interest.  |
| Posted by: Lebon14 Mar 31 2012, 01:29 AM | ||
This is also an insult to my intelligence. Might not be that generous next time around... if you know what I mean... |
| Posted by: bROCKoLEE Mar 31 2012, 08:07 AM |
| NEXT TIME ON INITIAL D WORLD. LEBON MIGHT NOT BE THAT GENEROUS. DON'T MISS IT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9jkpJRznpo&#t=25m01s |
| Posted by: Lebon14 Mar 31 2012, 08:14 AM | ||
Yes, indeed. I will not be generous. Oh, and, I'm not clicking the link. |
| Posted by: Shintaro Mar 31 2012, 08:35 AM |
| Lebon is a good mod for the music section, but if he is to be replaced I don't mind having Alastair take over. |
| Posted by: Alastair Mar 31 2012, 09:51 AM | ||
Any reason why you worry? Also brockLEE, that is best thing i have seen all morning. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Mar 31 2012, 09:55 AM | ||
I would love to see Lebon duke it out, no-holds-barred. Perhaps instead of recognizing talent or pandering to requests to be mod, potential moderators could fight it out in a duel to the death for the position? Man that's pay-per-view material right there. |
| Posted by: Alastair Mar 31 2012, 09:58 AM | ||
I for one love this idea. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Mar 31 2012, 11:52 AM | ||
I for two love this idea. Maybe a contest to see who can get out of Heavenly Host Elementary School the fastest. That'd take balls. Or maybe tongues, actually. |
| Posted by: bROCKoLEE Mar 31 2012, 02:41 PM |
| I propose a karaoke battle. It only makes sense that the music mod shall go to the one who dominates the mic the best. You can air each contestant's performance every weekend and give the rest of the week for members to send in their votes via PM/Email/Txt/Calls (Txt Msgs and Calls preferably because that can make |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Mar 31 2012, 03:07 PM | ||
I WONDER WHO WILL WIN?!  |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Mar 31 2012, 04:03 PM |
| I will, by default. But in light of such an event, I turn down the position. Thanks, but no thanks. |
| Posted by: Alastair Mar 31 2012, 04:05 PM |
| Resident Voice major here, I win by default |
| Posted by: SgtXDNX Mar 31 2012, 06:13 PM |
| I vote for the whole deathmatch thing, but only if I can bring my old Steyr. |
| Posted by: APX Mar 31 2012, 07:18 PM |
| I'm a old man, so bare knuckles fight will have to be the choice. |
| Posted by: logan510 Apr 1 2012, 05:31 AM | ||
I guess Lebon has no choice but to be generous now.  Casey |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 1 2012, 07:22 AM |
| I would expect them to act like adults and settle this without requiring my assistance. |
| Posted by: logan510 Apr 1 2012, 10:50 AM |
| What is there to settle? He got replaced because of a change in ownership. It's nothing new and happens all the time in the corporate world. Casey |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 1 2012, 12:08 PM |
| The corporate world is comprised of adults, not borderline tweens that have revenge issues. |
| Posted by: logan510 Apr 1 2012, 12:36 PM | ||
From seeing massive changes at my company a couple of times, I don't think it matters whether they're adults or tweens. I don't feel bad for Lebon as he was a mod for a good long time, but I can see where he might be little sour. Casey |
| Posted by: Smikey Apr 1 2012, 07:05 PM | ||
Someone sour over online forum leadership change? Oh my...what an unfair world. |
| Posted by: logan510 Apr 2 2012, 05:24 PM | ||
For some people, being a mod here was the crowning acheivement of their life to date. When that's taken away for no other reason than a change in ownership...yes, it's unfair and yes I can see why he's so sour about it. When my company changed ownership they replaced almost the entire senior staff just because they wanted their people in place. I would expect massive changes would've been made no matter who bought IDW.  |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Apr 3 2012, 05:23 AM | ||
If I'm not mistaken, Perry handed it over to Tessou, rather than sold it. |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 3 2012, 06:22 AM |
| ^ Not true. Money changed hands in order to make this happen. The specific amount was what caused a prolonged snarl in negotiations. I would have been admin in January, but Perry pressed me for a bit more cash before he was willing to budge. IDW is in good hands, and Perry is not gone, despite what some people are saying. The guy is in China right now, hence he is not posting or logging in. When he comes back, he will be the same intermittent poster/actioner that we all know. Whether or not he will be a bonafide co-admin or just an admin-CP-privileged member is still up in the air, as I will want to retain him for technical work. |
| Posted by: Wanderer Apr 3 2012, 06:47 AM |
Speaking of which, I just saw him online on WME.  |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 3 2012, 07:00 AM |
| His IP traced to a China network. He's checking in. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 Apr 3 2012, 10:54 AM |
| Perry will be back from his vacation in a week or so. Don't worry about him. I think he's posted once or twice in the past few weeks. If I recall correctly, it was to wish our very own sideways happy birthday. I'm sure he'll announce when he's back stateside. |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 3 2012, 10:57 AM |
| I threw admin CP access on his account. He's already fixed a minor error I encountered while editing the moderator group. |

| So, there was talk of a death match... Let's get this Hunger Games shit started! Or Battle Royale with cheese, if you're French. |
| Posted by: Alastair Apr 3 2012, 11:43 AM | ||
I'll take one Battle Royale with cheese and Onion Rings' please |
| Posted by: Wanderer Apr 3 2012, 11:45 AM | ||
Make mine animal style with animal style fries.  |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Apr 3 2012, 04:32 PM |
| Would you like to upgrade your order to morbid obesity for another 45 cents? |
| Posted by: Wanderer Apr 3 2012, 06:34 PM | ||
It's 35cents cheaper at McDonald's though. |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Apr 3 2012, 07:05 PM |
| Our fries are free range and our onions are grass-fed. |
| Posted by: Alastair Apr 3 2012, 07:06 PM | ||
YOU AND I ARE NOW BEST FRIENDS! |
| Posted by: Wanderer Apr 3 2012, 07:08 PM | ||
